NRS 73.010 is the statute which discusses the jurisdiction of justice courts for small claims. This statute provides that Small Claims Court may take jurisdiction over a matter where the defendant named: 1. Is a resident of; 2. Does business in; or 3. Is employed in
the township in which the action is to be maintained. An out-of-state entity (such as an Internet retailer) is not generally held to do business in a township merely because it has shipped products into the township.
